Actress Ellen Pompeo has been on "Grey’s Anatomy" for 17 seasons.
The actress recently appeared on Dax Shepard’s podcast "Armchair Expert."
She said she hasn’t loved watching herself go from 33 to 50 onscreen.
"But at the same time, I think the overall goal of my life is to always keep my ego in check."
Pompeo talked about when she wants to make her exit.
"To leave while the show is still on top is definitely a goal."
"I’m not trying to stay on the show forever. No way. "
Pompeo said she would leave if she gets too aggravated and no longer grateful.
